A Tsunami of Governmental Global Warming Lies

By Alan
Caruba

It’s
bad enough when major environmental organizations continue to lie about a
“global warming” that does not exist in lieu of a planetary cooling cycle now
entering its 17th year, but when those allied with the United
Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are also in charge of
producing a government report on it, the public is being lied to in ways that
obscure their bias and agenda.

This is
the case of the recently released draft report of the National Climate
Assessment and Development Advisory Committee (NCADAC) titled “Climate
Change and the American People.” The majority of the thirteen senior
scientists responsible for it are closely allied with the IPCC. No doubt, the
final report will be cited by the IPCC as further “proof” that global warming is
real.

The
Liar-in-Chief about global warming—AKA climate change—is President Obama who,
during his second inaugural speech managed to ignore any mention of the nation’s
catastrophic debt in favor of warning that climate change is causing forest
fires, drought, and powerful storms. Excuse me, but the climate has always
included these natural events. They are not the result of a warming that is not
occurring.

Some
believe that an effort is afoot to revive cap-and-trade
legislation that would tax so-called greenhouse gas emissions despite the
fact that they play no role in either climate change or the bogus global
warming. Others think that the EPA will be used as the blunt instrument to
restrict emissions.

It is
troubling enough that a January 24 edition of The Wall Street Journal included a
commentary by Bjorn
Lomborg, author and director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center in
Washington, D.C., that criticized the President’s speech at the same time saying
“This does not mean that climate change isn’t an issue. In the long run, the
world needs to cut carbon dioxide because it causes global warming.”

No,
carbon dioxide (CO2) doesn’t cause something that isn’t happening. It causes all
the vegetation on Earth to thrive and that is why greenhouses increase it in
order to stimulate growth. Reducing it via government regulation threatens the
entire economy.

According to the NCADAC report,
rising temperatures pose a health threat. They are not rising and countless
retirees head to warmer states for the simple reason that warmer weather extends
life while colder weather kills people. People who live in Florida and the
Southwest are not moving to Minnesota or Alaska.

As
Steve Gorham, the author of “The Mad, Mad, Mad World of Climatism: Mankind and
Climate Change Mania”, has pointed out regarding the NCADAC report, “The
document uses the word ‘extreme’ more than 600 times to create an alarming
picture of the future. It predicts ‘extreme weather events…extreme
weather…extreme snowstorms…extreme winds…extreme drought…extreme floods…extreme
rainfall’ and many other ‘extremes’, all claimed to be due to mankind’s
relatively small emissions of CO2, a trace gas in the atmosphere. The report’s
conclusions are based on computer model projections.”

Environmental studies professor,
Roger Pielke Jr., notes that among those in charge of the latest government
report are its chairman, biologist Jerry Melillo whose online bio cites his
“long association with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.” One of
its vice chairmen, economics professor Gary Yohe has the same credential. Others
affiliated with the IPCC are James Buizer, Sharon Hayes, Thomas Karl, Susanne
Moser, Richard Moss, and Donald Wuebbles whose academic bio says he “shares in
the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the international Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change.”

The
connections between these folks and environmental organizations include the fact
that vice-chair Gary Yohe is part of a World Wildlife Fund panel and Richard
Moss used to be employed as a WWF vice president. The WWF is one of the leading
advocates of global warming. James Buizer is on the board of directors of Second
Nature a group whose mission is to create a sustainable society by transforming
higher education. In other words, ensuring that yet another generation passing
through our universities absorb the global warming hoax.

The
federal government has been funding these bogus reports and “research” about
global warming to the tune of billions of dollars for years. The entire purpose
is to keep the hoax alive and it has ensured that agencies such as NOAA and NASA
have participated. Other than Al Gore, the leading proponent of global warming
has been James Hansen who continues to head NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space
Studies.

It is
so bad at NASA that, in February 2012, a group of twenty former NASA scientists
formed a group called The Right Climate Stuff to dispute and debunk the many
lies associated with global warming.

Fundamentally, you cannot trust
anything the federal government, nor its lackeys in the mainstream media,
regarding anything you read or hear about global warming or climate change. It
is a tsunami of lies.
